SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed March 16, 1924. Serial No. 698,294.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE REMINGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Tiflin, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade Holders, of whichthe following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a shade holder and has for itsprincipal object to provide a device for adjustably supporting a shadebracket that is a device wherein the shade bracket may be movedlongitudinally thereof for the purpose of accommodating different sizedwindow shades.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a holder of thisnature with means for engaging a lace curtain pole.

A still further object of the invention is to generally improve uponshade holders of this nature by providing a device possessed of a verysimple and efficientconstruction, one which is reliable, inexpensive tomanufacture, durable, strong, attractive in appearance, and adapted tothe purpose for which it is designed.

' With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear asthe description progresses, the invention resides in cer tain novelfeatures of construction, and in the combination and arrangement ofparts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the shade holder embodying myinvention,

Figure 2 is a plan view showing the blank from which the body of theholder is formed,

Figures 3 and 4: are vertical transverse sections taken substantially onthe lines 33 and 4-4 respectively of Figure 1 looking in the directionof the arrow.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the holderindicated generally by the letter A is constructed from a body 1 theblank of which is shown in Figure 2. The body 1 is substantiallyrectangular shaped and is provided with an upwardly extending flange 2along its bottom edge and a depending flange 3 along its upper edge. Anapertured ear 3 extends perpendicularly from one end of thebody 1 whilea similar ear 4 extends parallel thereto from an intermediate portion ofthe body. A bar 5 has its ends positioned in the apertures of the ears 3and 4so as to be rotatable therein. This bar is provided with a seriesof spaced teeth 6 normally positioned as shown in Figure 1. The shadebracket indicated generally at- B includes a base plate 7 from whichextends an arm 8 provided in its end with an opening or slot 9 forreceiving the end of a shade roller. The arm 8 is provided with alongitudinally extending slot 10 in which is received the bar 5. It willthus be seen that the ends of the base plate 7 are slidably received inthe trackways formed by the flanges 2 and 3 so as to be movablelongitudinally on the base 1. In order to move this bracket the bar 5must be rotated so as to place its teeth 6 in alinement with the slot 10of the arm 8 at which time the bracket D may be readily moved to aproper adjusted position. When properly adjusted the bar 5 is rotated sothat its teeth 6 take a vertical position as shown in Figure 1 thuslocking the bracket in its adjusted position.

In the present embodiment of the invention the bottom flange 2 extendsthe entire distance of the lower edge of the body while the upper flange3 only extends a partial dis- .tance of the upper edge of the body. Astrip 13 attached to one end of the body is bent over upon the body inorder that a plate 14 may be received with its lower edge within thetrackway formed by the flange 2 and its upper end between the body andthe strip 13. A stud 15 projects from the plate 14 and the end of acurtain rod 16 may be placed thereover. This plate 14 is readilyremovable since it may be lifted so that its bottom edge disengages theflange 2 and then pulled outwardly to the position shown in dotted linesin Figure 3. After this the plate may be moved downwardly so as todisengage the strip 13. The plate 14 is not movable longitudinally ofthe body being positioned between the ear 18 provided on the end of thebody and the ear 4 previously mentioned. The ear 18 is preferablyprovided with a slot or opening for the reception of the end of acurtain roller if the holders are desired for supporting two curtains asis often desirable where a curtain of light shade is used adjacent thewindow and a curtain of a darker shade behind the same.

From the above description it is thought that a clear understanding ofmy invention will be had without a more detailed description thereof. Itis desired, however,to point out the body of the device may be stampedfrom sheet metal'and bent to provide the to be understood that numerouschanges in the details of construction, in the materials, in thecombination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to Withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafterclaimed or sacrificing any of its'adrant-ages. y 7 V flaringthusdescribed my invention, What I claim as new is; 1. A holder oftheclass described including a body provided with an upwardly turned bottomflange and a downwardly turned upper flange, a curtain bracket includinga plate and an arm, said arm pro vided with a slot, the ends of saidplate being slidable in i the Ways formed by the flanges on the body, arod rotatably mounted l the invention 'with a certain degree o'tparticularity, t is on the'body and adapted to extend through i the slotof the arm of the bracket, and teeth extending irom the rod and adaptedto be brought in registry with the slot of the arm in Order that thebracket may be moved longitudinally of the body or to be disposed out ofalinement therewith for holding the bracket in a fixed adjustedposition.

2; A shade bracket comprising a plate, a bracketelement slidablyassociated Withvthe plate and provided with a horizontally disposedslot, a bar jonrnaled on the plate and extending longitudinally of thesame, a plurality of spaced fingers carried by the bar and normallydisposed in a vertical position with two adjacent" lingers normallystrad dling the bracket toretain the latter in adjusted position, thebar being adapted to be rotated to a position to disposethe fingers inhorizontal alignment with the slot when it'is desired to adjust thebracket longitudinally. v a

In testimony whereof I afiiX my'signature.
